One lingering political thought: I was somewhat surprised recently to see billboards for three different gubernatorial candidates--Walker, Stephens, and Lampropolous. Given that at the point those billboards were up, only the opinions of the 3500 Republican delegates mattered to any of them, and given how few of those delegates lived in Utah County where they were likely to see said billboards regularly, it seemed like an extravagantly wasteful use of campaign funds (which, admittedly, does describe many aspects of Utah's pre-convention phase). Thus, I was amused to note that none of the three made it out of convention.
Of course, now someone's going to point out some Huntsman or Karras billboard that I didn't see...
